In the age of AI, information is more abundant than ever. What we need now may be the capacity to step out of cognitive loops, meet uncertainty, listen to our innate intelligence, and embody forms of wisdom beyond the analytical mind. The Unknowing Lab is an exploration of science, spirituality, and the art of not knowing. Across contemplative traditions, we find teachings that invite us to relax the conceptual mind and experience reality more directly. Neuroscience, psychology, and nervous system research are now giving us new ways to understand why these practices can be transformative—and why letting go of familiar identities, predictions, and patterns can also feel vulnerable. We’ll explore some of that science, but we won’t stop at analyzing it. We’ll become our own researchers, using meditation, somatic practice, play, and relational inquiry to discover what unknowing actually feels like in the body. This is a space to move from insight to embodiment: to let the nervous system rest, loosen habitual patterns, open to creativity and possibility, and meet life with a little less friction and a little more curiosity, trust, and participation. 🕝 Schedule We'll begin at 6:30, and doors will open 10 minutes beforehand. 🕰 Flow Arrival + Nervous System Grounding Guided somatic practices to help your nervous system balance, release physical & mental tension, and arrive in the present moment. Science + Spiritual Wisdom A grounded introduction to unknowing and the relationship between awareness, nervous system regulation, and loosening the conceptual self. Embodied Practices Gentle regulation, resourcing, meditation, and playful experiments that invite curiosity and new ways of perceiving. Relational Inquiry Partner practices where we experiment with staying present, connected, and open while investigating our relationship to unknowing. Integration + Closing Reflecting on what we discovered and how it might live beyond the workshop. 👥 Facilitator Pauline Romas is a somatic facilitator, community builder, and lifelong student of the divine mystery. She brings her background as an engineer and thousands of hours of meditation practice to her work with embodiment and the nervous system. Pauline creates spaces of unconditional acceptance where people can connect with their heart’s wisdom and inner guidance to explore new ways of living and relating, bringing their spiritual insights into everyday life. Learn more about Pauline and her work at PaulineRomas.love 💫 Who This Is For This gathering is for curious humans who spend a lot of time in their heads, feel drawn to the intersection of science and spirituality, or long to embody what they already know intellectually. No particular belief system or meditation experience is required—only a willingness to be curious, experiment, and explore. 🎒 What to Bring Suggested: comfortable clothes you can move in, water bottle, journal. 🏛 About The Commons The Commons is a community-based \"Fourth Place\" that catalyzes each member's path to authenticity, full self-expression, and aliveness - rooted in the belief that community is essential to that journey.

For four days, we’re heading north to Shimmerback Ranch—nearly 150 acres of forest, creek, trails, and gathering spaces about 2.5 hours from San Francisco—to experiment with a slower, more communal rhythm of life. Think of it as a temporary Commons village: waking up among the trees, cooking and eating together, swimming in the creek, making things with our hands, sharing skills and ideas, tending the land, and having the kind of long, wandering conversations that become possible when nobody has somewhere else to be in an hour. During the day, we’ll invite members to offer workshops, creative practices, facilitated conversations, crafts, music, and whatever else they’d like to share. Some time may also be devoted to hands-on stewardship projects around the property—an opportunity to learn practical skills while giving something back to the land hosting us. And when evening arrives? We’ll gather around food and fire, make music, and—far from our usual sound-sensitive neighbors—perhaps finally answer the important civic question: what does a Commons rave look like in the middle of the woods? ✨🌲🔊 This retreat is an experiment in community beyond the walls of 540 and 550: a chance to rest, play, collaborate, and discover what becomes possible when we have a little more time and space with one another. 🕰 Flow / Schedule This will be a Thursday–Sunday retreat, with plenty of spacious, unscheduled time built in. Thursday, September 24 Arrival, camp setup, orientation, shared dinner, and settling into the land. Friday & Saturday 🌲 Slow mornings and shared meals 🛠 Member-led workshops and skill-sharing 🎨 Art, crafting, building, and creative projects 🌿 Optional land stewardship projects 💧 Creek swimming and time to explore or simply rest 🍲 Communal cooking and meals 🎶 Music, jams, dancing, and nighttime gatherings Sunday, September 27 A final morning together, shared cleanup and stewardship of the space, packing up, and heading home. A more detailed schedule—and opportunities to propose workshops—will be shared as the retreat takes shape. 👥 Facilitators The retreat is being organized by Cody Hasty and The Commons, with the weekend itself shaped collaboratively by the members who attend. Rather than bringing in a fixed program of teachers, we’re imagining something closer to a community unconference: Commons members sharing the skills, practices, questions, and creative pursuits they care about. Want to teach something, facilitate a conversation, DJ a set, lead a craft, cook for the group, organize a game, or contribute another offering? We’d love for you to help shape the weekend. 💫 Who This Is For This retreat is for Commons members who want to spend meaningful time together outside the rhythms of everyday city life. You do not need to be an experienced camper, outdoorsperson, workshop facilitator, or wilderness mystic. 🌿 Come if you’re excited to: deepen friendships and make new ones learn and share skills create things alongside other people spend a few days surrounded by nature contribute to communal meals and shared responsibilities dance, play, rest, swim, wander, talk, or simply exist around a campfire together The heart of the weekend is participation rather than performance. You can offer a workshop or just show up ready to lend a hand. 🎒 What to Bring (Optional) A detailed packing list will be shared with attendees before the retreat. For now, plan for several days of camping and outdoor life, including warm layers for evenings, sturdy shoes, personal toiletries, a flashlight or headlamp, and whatever you need to sleep comfortably. If you have camping equipment, musical instruments, games, art supplies, crafting tools, or something you’d enjoy sharing with the group, you’re welcome to bring them. Please do not store food or other bear attractants inside tents. We’ll coordinate safe food storage on-site. Don't own camping gear? Don't let that stop you from expressing interest—we'll see what we can share and coordinate as a community. 💛 Suggested Donation / Exchange Our goal is to make the retreat as financially accessible as possible. The maximum anticipated land cost is approximately $130 per person for the full Thursday–Sunday retreat ($32.50/day). Depending on attendance, Commons support, and opportunities to exchange volunteer stewardship projects for part of the cost, your actual price may be lower—or potentially free. We’ll confirm the final contribution once we have a reliable headcount. For those who would rather not sleep in a tent, a limited number of upgraded accommodations—including a bunkhouse, tiny houses, an RV, and glamping options—may be available for an additional cost. 🏛 About The Commons The Commons is a civic temple for wisdom, belonging, and beauty in San Francisco—a place to practice community rather than simply talk about it. We believe belonging grows through shared experience: learning together, making things together, caring for spaces together, celebrating together, and showing up for one another. This retreat takes that experiment beyond our walls. For a few days, instead of simply gathering at The Commons, we get to practice building a little commons of our own. 🚪 Arrival Info 📍 Shimmerback Ranch · near Willits, California 🚗 Approximately 2.5 hours north of San Francisco Exact directions, arrival instructions, transportation coordination, campsite information, lodging assignments, and a packing guide will be sent to confirmed attendees before the retreat. Because this is an offsite retreat rather than an event at our usual San Francisco home, please RSVP rather than simply showing up. We’ll also coordinate carpools and transportation as the group comes together. 🌲 Come for the woods. Bring something to share.

What to expect: installation takes about 5 minutes. Your first beat, maybe an hour. Playing a full set takes a 3-6 weeks of practice depending on experience level. A few students have gone on to perform live sets at SF events and festivals as part of Soniare Collective. With just a bit of dedication you could be next! We would love to have you join our growing family of music producers. After the class you'll be invited to our Discord where we do multiplayer jam sessions, so there's space to keep learning and playing with other people. Workshop Outline Software and sample installation Overview of Auwen User Interface and workflow Multiplayer learning session creating genres you suggest Solo time creating music on your own computer Wrap-up and share resources for further learning Educational Goals To inspire participants and offer an accessible entry point into performing live dance music, while building foundational skills in livecoding, composition, improvisation, and real-time musical decision-making. Instructor Nes Croft is a musician, artist, and computer engineer from Montana who has written and recorded thousands of songs since a young age starting with folk/rock as a teenager and expanding into experimental pop, IDM, techno, and trance. Nes gained an interest in electronics at age 19 after working at the DIY synth company Synthrotek in Portland, OR. Going on to earn a bachelor's degree in computer engineering at Montana State University. While in college Nes co-founded and developed Vaytricks Beat Machine, a mobile drum machine app that received over 100,000 downloads. 5 years later Nes left Vaytricks to pursue a live performance focused approach to music production and Auwen was born. Auwen is a digital audio workstation featuring a hybrid producer/DJ workflow that allows musicians to perform dance music live using a command line interface. Given the nature of the software, Nes naturally gravitated toward live music events testing Auwen at various electronic music festivals in Montana. Later, Nes joined the livecoding scene in San Francisco and started hosting workshops & live music events at TIAT art gallery and Gray Area in San Francisco in 2025-2026. Preparation Bring a laptop/headphones and install the software auwen.app to save time in class. Also bring water and maybe a light snack to keep your energy up because we'll be covering a lot of information! Some drinks may be provided as well.

Earlier this year, “Chinamaxxing” emerged online as a playful embrace of contemporary China—its technology, infrastructure, food, fashion, and everyday life. But what, exactly, are you embracing—a culture, an aesthetic, a political possibility, a different version of yourself? And how does that invitation feel when the culture being discovered is already your own? Across sculpture, moving image, poetry, performance, and interactive systems, Chinamaxxing follows objects, technologies, and rituals as they travel across borders. The artists explore what gets translated, imitated, misunderstood, or made intimate along the way.

The gathering is to celebrate silence and stillness, study, practice and realize Buddhist teachings, and dynamic inquiry into mindfulness, freedom, and compassion in daily life. So much of our lives are oriented toward becoming. Being Here offers a regular space to pause that momentum and explore what becomes possible when we give our attention to simply being here. Through meditation, heart teachings, and conversation, we practice bringing this quality of being into the rest of our lives. The emphasis is on direct experience rather than technique. Think: less following a recipe and more hanging out in your grandma’s kitchen! Come to practice, listen, ask questions, or spend time in a space devoted to being. For more about Milo, including extended biography, upcoming retreats, and in depth 1-1 guidance visit www.boundlessness.org 🕰 Schedule 10:30 AM: Arrive and settle in Brief sitting instruction 35 minutes: Silent sitting meditation 35 minutes: Dharma teachings from Milo, followed by question and response 10 minutes: Closing and announcements Stay afterward for informal conversation and connection, if you like 💫 Who This Is For Open to Commons members and the wider community People curious about meditation, Dharma, Buddhist teachings, mindfulness, or nonduality Those beginning a practice and those with years of experience Anyone looking for a place to deepen their practice in community Anyone drawn to exploring how meditation and Dharma meet ordinary daily life 🤲 Participation Norms RSVP on Luma or drop in No formal membership or prior experience required Questions, reflections, and inquiry are encouraged 🎒 What to Bring Bring a zafu if you prefer this to the provided chairs and pillows 💛 Suggested Donation / Exchange Being Here is offered on a dana basis, as an expression of generosity and shared responsibility.

Over the past two years, brain retraining for mold sensitivity and energy practices have further broadened my understanding and informed my approach.

In this interactive gathering, we'll have the space to explore what social anxiety feels like and how we can build tools to overcome it together. While healing is a continuous journey and I am far from done, I have spent the last 10 years building spaces and collecting the tools that I wish I had when I was younger. Through that process, I obtained my Masters in Mental Health Counseling and have used that training to grow the You Aren't Alone Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to facilitating & changing conversations around mental health for the safety and belonging of all.

You'll get hands-on experience building tracks from scratch and playing them in a low stakes, collaborative setting. No prior coding or music experience needed. What to expect: installation takes about 5 minutes. Your first beat, maybe an hour. Playing a full set takes a 3-6 weeks of practice depending on experience level. A few students have gone on to perform live sets at SF events and festivals as part of Soniare Collective. With just a bit of dedication you could be next! We would love to have you join our growing family of music producers. After the class you'll be invited to our Discord where we do multiplayer jam sessions, so there's space to keep learning and playing with other people. Workshop Outline Software and sample installation Overview of Auwen User Interface and workflow Multiplayer learning session creating genres you suggest Solo time creating music on your own computer Wrap-up and share resources for further learning Educational Goals To inspire participants and offer an accessible entry point into performing live dance music, while building foundational skills in livecoding, composition, improvisation, and real-time musical decision-making. Instructor Nes Croft is a musician, artist, and computer engineer from Montana who has written and recorded thousands of songs since a young age starting with folk/rock as a teenager and expanding into experimental pop, IDM, techno, and trance. Nes gained an interest in electronics at age 19 after working at the DIY synth company Synthrotek in Portland, OR. Going on to earn a bachelor's degree in computer engineering at Montana State University. While in college Nes co-founded and developed Vaytricks Beat Machine, a mobile drum machine app that received over 100,000 downloads. 5 years later Nes left Vaytricks to pursue a live performance focused approach to music production and Auwen was born. Auwen is a digital audio workstation featuring a hybrid producer/DJ workflow that allows musicians to perform dance music live using a command line interface. Given the nature of the software, Nes naturally gravitated toward live music events testing Auwen at various electronic music festivals in Montana. Later, Nes joined the livecoding scene in San Francisco and started hosting workshops & live music events at TIAT art gallery and Gray Area in San Francisco in 2025-2026. Preparation Bring a laptop/headphones and install the software auwen.app to save time in class. Also bring water and maybe a light snack to keep your energy up because we'll be covering a lot of information! Some drinks may be provided as well.

An immersive half-day exploration of movement, playfulness, touch, authentic relating, and meaningful conversation in a trauma-informed space. 🌿 About This Gathering Meaningful connection rarely happens by accident. It tends to emerge when we feel safe enough to slow down, be ourselves, and meet one another with curiosity. This gathering is an invitation to explore what helps genuine connection emerge - not by performing, saying the \"right\" thing, or following a script, but by creating the conditions where we can be more present, playful, and authentic with ourselves and others. At the heart of this gathering is a simple idea: connection deepens when we feel safe enough to be seen and expressed -not just the polished parts of ourselves, but also the parts we might usually hide or hold back. Through movement, play, somatic awareness, and guided conversations, we'll explore what happens when we let ourselves show up more fully and meet one another more deeply. This is an evolving exploration of connection, community, and play. I'm excited to create a deep experience together and to see what becomes possible when we give ourselves more space to be ourselves and meet one another more fully. My hope is that you'll leave with a deeper sense of connection to yourself and others, and maybe even with a new friend or two. 🕰 Flow / Schedule 2:00 – 2:15: Arrival & settling in 2:15 – 2:30: Welcome & agreements 2:30 – 4:30: Exploring connection — one-to-one & small groups 4:30 – 4:50: Break 4:50 – 7:10: Exploring connection — group dynamics 7:10 – 7:30: Closing circle 7:30 onward: Stay, mingle & continue connecting 💫 Who This Is For This gathering is for anyone who longs for more genuine connection. It’s especially for people who sometimes struggle to connect, fit in, or feel like they truly belong; for those who appreciate a slower pace when getting to know others; and for anyone curious about moving beyond small talk, social performance, or the feeling that they need to say the “right” thing or show up in a certain way. Rather than trying to “get connection right,” we’ll explore what naturally allows connection to emerge—through presence, play, movement, and authentic conversation. Whether you're outgoing, introverted, or somewhere in between, you'll be invited to participate at your own pace. No previous experience is needed: just come as you are. 👥 Facilitator Simone Giacometti is a somatic practitioner, psychedelic integration guide, and facilitator passionate about helping people heal, grow, and connect more deeply with themselves and others. Originally trained as a scientist, Simone spent years working at the intersection of biology, technology, and program management before transitioning into healing work. Today, he supports people through one-on-one sessions that weave together trauma-informed healing, somatic practices, inner exploration, and psychedelic integration work to help people reconnect with themselves and grow into greater authenticity. His group facilitation draws on somatics, authentic relating, nervous system awareness, and play to create spaces where people can slow down, be themselves, and feel more at home with others. (This gathering is fully substance-free and centered on movement, conversation, and connection.)

In the age of abundant information, a new generation of makers are redefining the status quo of tech: personal, DIY-ed, and with the goal to understand, not merely consume. Cyberdecks have emerged as a manifestation of this shift: as custom-built, portable personal computers, they are designed to reflect the personality of its creator and as a form of self-expression. But even with the help of online resources, hardware is ... hard. Cyberdeck Summer aims to help people overcome that first learning hump, while building a community of makers, engineers, and creatives. ​What will you learn? How to build a Raspberry Pi + color display system from scratch. The basics of hardware electronics, including breadboarding, basic circuit design, and microcontrollers. Introduction to coding for hardware using MicroPython. All experience levels are welcome. We'll start from the very beginning, and you'll have help each step of the way. Plus: free matcha to keep your brain juices flowing. ​Tickets $200 includes 3h of instruction, all the materials and tools, your finished cyberdeck to take home, matcha, and exclusive access to our builders' community server. ​About the teachers Sage is an Electrical Engineering junior at Stanford University and content creator (200k+ across platforms). She started her page with a focus on making technology hardware accessible to all! Amy is an Electrical Engineering sophomore at Stanford University. She still remembers how steep the hardware learning curve is, which is exactly why she wants to teach workshops like this one! She hopes you leave this workshop with not only a cyberdeck, but also the feeling that you can build anything. ​​FAQ: What should I bring? A laptop for uploading code to your cyberdeck!

You'll honor your personal experiences of the past month with a series of reflections, inspired by the life of the monarchs: Flourishing: What was a moment you felt closest to flourishing? Encounter: What was a moment you encountered the limits of your human existence? (.e.g. loss, choice, suffering?) Origins: What was a moment you felt, \"This is what makes me who I am\"? Becoming: What was a moment you felt, \"This is who I want to be?\" If you're in a social vibe, joining as a Mingling Muser will allow you to share reflections with a small group. If you want to journal alone, joining as a Solo Sojourner will give you space alongside quiet company for a private reflection. Come with something to write with/on. If you've come before, bring your pebble. ​Invite a friend! \"A lovely way to spend a Sunday evening -- the jam gave me the chance to slow down and sit with the triumphs, disappointments, and transitions of a chaotic and difficult month.” —Justin “It was a great way to reflect on my month and what I'd learned from my experiences, while meeting some new people and discussing deeper topics.” —Trevor “Even though I opted for the solo track and was journaling to myself, I felt seen, connected, and celebrated.” —James Suggested Donation Please chip in any amount to help cover the costs of hosting and food.

Rachel will also share a prototype of In Countless Shadows, which treats Shakespeare’s sonnets as playable systems.
